Abstract Most Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations follow an anadromous life cycle, spending early life in freshwater, migrating to the sea for feeding, and returning to rivers to spawn. At the end of the last ice age ~10,000 years ago, several populations of Atlantic salmon became landlocked. ...
Knowledge mobilisation is required to “bridge the gap” between research, policy and practice. This activity is dependent on the amount, richness and quality of the data published. To understand the impact of a changing climate on commercial species, stakeholder communities require better knowledge of ...
Petrographic analysis based on microfacies identification in thin sections is widely used in sedimentary environment interpretation and paleoecological reconstruction. Fossil recognition from microfacies is an essential procedure for petrographers to complete this task. Distinguishing the morphological ...
From May to October 2019, multiple mass mortality events (MMEs) of Pinna nobilis were observed along Croatian coastline starting from the south-east and rapidly progressing in north-western direction. Time dynamics of the MMEs closely followed general speed and direction patterns of surface sea-currents, ...
A fish farming structure (10) is described comprising at least a first support device (16) and a second support device (17) and a net structure (20, 38, 58) that extends between the first support device and the second support device and forms an enclosure between the first support device and the second ...
Semi-submersible fish-farming system, such as a fish pen (1), which can be located in at least two different semi-submerged positions, a first position (15) and a second position (16), by ballasting and deballasting, the system comprises a floating collar (2) comprising a ring-shaped or polygonal lower ...
The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to apparatuses, methods, and systems for cultivating a microcrop involving a floating coupling device. More specifically, the present disclosure relates, in some embodiments to apparatuses and methods for cultivating Lemna for extracting ...
[Object] To provide a tether that is automatically deformed from a deployment state in case of cutting or the like. [Solving Means] A tether 10 is a net that kinks and is automatically deformed upon tension release. The tether 10 has a length of several kilometers to several tens of kilometers upon ...
A marine antifouling coating composition comprising: (i) an acrylic binder comprising at least one polymer comprising (meth)acrylate and/or silyl (meth)acrylate monomers; (ii) one or more rosins or derivatives thereof; (iii) one or more marine antifouling agents; and (iv) one or more monocarboxylic ...
The invention provides an antifouling coating composition comprising: (A) a binder comprising: (i) 30 to 80 wt% of a silyl ester copolymer comprising triisopropylsilyl methacrylate monomers; (ii) 20 to 55 wt% of a monocarboxylic acid or derivative thereof; and (iii) 5 to 20 wt% of an acrylic copolymer ...
Nighttime lights (NTL) create a unique footprint left by human activities, which can reflect the economic index and demographic characteristics of a country or region to some extent. It is of great significance to explore the impact of land features related to social–economic indexes to NTL intensity ...
This review considers the challenge of developing sustainable organobromine flame retardants (BrFRs) and alternative synergists to the predominantly used antimony III oxide. Current BrFR efficiencies are reviewed for textile coatings and back-coatings with a focus on furnishing and similar fabrics covering ...
Sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea; Echinodermata) are ecologically significant constituents of benthic marine habitats. We surveilled RNA viruses inhabiting eight species (representing four families) of holothurian collected from four geographically distinct locations by viral metagenomics, including a single ...
Global climate change is leading to damage and loss of coral reef ecosystems. On subtropical Okinawa Island in southwestern Japan, the prefectural government is working on coral reef restoration by outplanting coral colonies from family Acroporidae back to reefs after initially farming colonies inside ...
Many biological studies require the capture of individuals for sampling, for example for measurement of morphological or physiological traits, or for marking individuals for later observations. Capture methods employed often vary both within and between studies, and these differing methods could be ...
Background In 2016–2017, a European-wide circulation of genotype IA hepatitis A virus was responsible for hepatitis A outbreaks in men who have sex with men (MSM). This study aimed to describe the outbreak investigation in Seine-Maritime department (France) and the control measures implemented accordingly. Methods Outbreak ...
Abstract Establishing relationships between parasite infection and physiological condition of the host can be difficult and therefore are often neglected when describing factors causing population declines. Using the parasite–host system between the parasitic nematode Contracaecum osculatum and the ...
We analyse the dynamics of fishing vessels with different home ports in an area where these vessels, in choosing where to fish, are influenced by their own experience in the past and by their current observation of the locations of other vessels in the fleet. Empirical data from the boats near Ancona ...
Abstract Golden and Blueline Tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps and Caulolatilus microps) are keystone taxa in northwest (NW) Atlantic continental shelf‐edge environments due to their biotic (trophic‐mediated) and abiotic (ecosystem engineering) functional roles combined with high‐value fisheries. ...
The Indian black clam Villorita cyprinoides (Family: Cyrenidae), an extractive commercially exploited species with aquaculture importance contributing more than 70% of clam fishery in India, is endemic to the Indian peninsula. Currently, there is very sparse information, especially on the molecular ...
